Review: More value-for-money goodness from Situationism's 'In The Bag' series, which offers up tried-and-tested tunes and never-before-heard remixes of catalogue cuts. As you'd expect, label bosses Situation are heavily represented, with Max Essa's dreamy, squelch-along Balearic nu-disco tweak of 'Say Goodbye' being joined by Masterman's deep and spacey house revision of their Andre Esput hook-up, 'Not So Crazy'. The hits come thick and fast elsewhere across the EP, from the groovy, dubby, disco-tinged deep house shuffle of 'Peqach Snapps' by Francesco S, and a gorgeously summery spin on Javontte's 'Beautiful' by South Beach Recycling, to the deep, broken house sunshine that is 'L'Amore' by Aaron Matthews, and the mid-tempo New Jersey garage retro-futurism of Bittasuite's 'We Have Landed'.

Review: George Kelly's Athens-based Chopshop celebrate 15 years in the game with this best-of compilation that takes in cuts from the likes of Groove Armada (via Greg Wilson), Situation, Andy Bach, Bodie Lee, HP Vince and more, many of which - as is entirely in keeping with the label's name, of course - draw heavily on source material from the past. Dave Leatherman & Bruce Nolan kick us off with 'Sunny Side Up', which reworks Osibisa's 'Sunshine Day', and from there on out it's basically a non-stop disco/disco-house riot, with Bodie Lee paying tribute to Inner City on 'Let Me Take You Dancer', Wild Cherry chopped and looped to glorious effect by Delly on 'Movin' To The Groovin' and Alejandro Maria stealing the day with 'A Lot To Live For', which should really be called 'Stabs To Die For'.

Review: Originally scheduled for a December release, here at last come the remixes for a Situation/Andre Espeut collab that first landed back in November. The original sat somewhere on the mod-soul-acid jazz spectrum, but the remixes take us down a more uptempo route. Fingerman's Version Excursion gets the ball rolling and has something of a laidback, Nang-style nu-disco feel, before Soulfuledge bring us a percussion-led, Afro-tinged house rerub. Groovement Inc's take sits towards the broken beat end of the soulful house spectrum, before Ash Reynold steps up with a Balearic-leaning deep house take that for this reviewer is the pick of the crop.

Review: Vocalist Andre Espeut has appeared on so many Situation releases that we're genuinely not sure if he's officially a member of the band or not! Here they hook up once again, and suffice to say if you've dug any of their previous outings you'll probably be feeling this one too. Situation's uniquely soulful take on contemporary disco/boogie is in full effect on the original, a Vocal Reprise will please the more creative jocks, Ron Basejam drags us into a sweaty basement on his druggier, chuggier rub, and finally fellow scene stalwarts Chevals come with a mellower take that lets the vox and strings shine through.

Review: As it is now 15 years since the birth of his Yam Who? project, Midnight Riot main man Andy Williams is naturally in a celebratory mood. To mark the occasion, he's releasing a series of 'Best of' collections featuring a mixture of original productions and remixes. There's naturally tons to set the pulse racing on this second compilation, from the chunky revivalist boogie brilliance of Williams' previously unreleased dub of the Patchworks Band's 'Rock Your Body' and the Rhodes-laden, jazz-funk-goes-nu-disco warmth of his revision of Situation's superb 'Take Me Or Leave Me', to the bass-heavy, string-laden disco-house chunkiness of his Din Jay remix ('Sweet & Sour') and the soulful house-meets-electrofunk goodness of the Phil Jaimes' rework ('My Sensitivity').

Review: Sadly we fear more than love may be needed to fix 2020, but those plucky Midnight Rioters are on hand to give it a go anyway, as they serve up a 19-track compilation of disco, nu-boogie, disco-house and soulful house grooves, with the emphasis firmly on dancefloor thrills and belt-along vocals. Some of tracks are re-edits (Musta's 'I Like Dance', for instance, reworks Cheryl Lynn's classic 'Got To Be Real'), some are original productions; all are built with slinky hips and dancing feet in mind, and with cuts from the likes of Situation, Andre Espeut and Natasha Katt, not to mention Rony Breaker's soulful anthem-of-the-moment 'Change', disco dollies will be more than satisfied.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: West Country heroes Situation have kept it local on their latest EP, which offers up a suite of previously unheard re-rubs of Andre Espeut hook-up "Beyond Compare" by Bristol-based house hero Sean McCabe. It starts with vocal and instrumental interpretations built around warming, mood-enhancing chords, jangly piano riffs, unfussy beats and the kind of slick, ear-catching electronic bassline more associated with Atjazz productions. Then McCabe offers up a superb "Vocal Reprise" take that sounds a little "fuller" and more energy-packed (thanks in part to his use of more urgent-sounding vocal snippets and grandiose chord sequences), as well as a brilliantly dreamy and locked-in Dub that sounds a little like one of Frankie Knuckles' classic remixes. The final bonus treat is definitely worth some special attention too.

Review: Thanks to the rapid spread of COVID-19, the festival season has been unofficially cancelled. Situation think we should still all party - alone, of course - while in isolation so have served up 'The Festival EP' - a suitably good-time collection of cuts that should inspire you to dance around the living room. The set the tone with the jazz-funk-meets-deep house brilliance of "Soulstice" - check the lazy guitar solos, Rhodes chords and bubbly bass guitar - before doffing a cap to one of Glastonbury's most celebrated behind-the-scenes spots on the similarly languid, live-sounding "Maceos". "Stardust" is a rich, wah-wah-guitar flecked shuffle through deep disco pastures, while "Let's Dance" is an energetic slab of Prince style purple funk complete with fizzing slap bass and wavy, eyes-closed guitar solos.

Review: Midnight Right's Afrobeat, Afro-funk and Afro-disco inspired "Riot In Lagos" compilation is arguably one of the label's standout releases of the last few years, so it's exciting to hear that volume two is on the way. To give us a taste of what's to come, the Yam Who-helmed imprint has offered up this rock solid sampler. Krewcial kicks things off via the jaunty, sax-heavy brilliance of "Mabina" - a kind of swinging, bass-heavy disco tribute to Fela Kuti - before Get To Know cheerily dance through mid-80s Nigerian boogie/synth-soul pastures on the wonderful "Fugar" re-edit. The EP also boasts two versions of Situation's Afro-centric cut "Wonky": a deep and jazzy Afro-house version by Frank Situation rich in glistening jazz guitar solos, and an even hazier and more hypnotic Mr Mulatto take.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: For the second time, Stroud collective Situation joins forces with golden-voiced singer Andre Esput and asks, "What Is Going On?" Some of their many producer pals provide sterling remixes of the Cotswolds crew's tasty original version, which hit stores back in June. The Andromeda Orchestra step up first with a low-slung, party-hearty disco-funk version that expertly channels the spirit of Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up", before West Country deep house veterans BRS offer up a smooth, warm and groovy revision tailor made for sun-kissed afternoons, humid evenings and sweat-soaked nights. To round things things off in style, Bitter Suite peppers a broken beat influenced house groove with jazz-funk synths, spacey chords and just the right amount of warming slap bass.

Review: A decade has now passed since George Kelly established the Chopshop imprint as an outlet for goodtime grooves, sneaky reworks and club-ready re-edits that blur the boundaries between disco and house. To celebrate the fact, he's gathered together some of his label highlights on an expansive compilation. It's arguably best enjoyed via his action-packed DJ mix, which is tucked away at the end of the collection, though DJs will delight at the sheer volume and quality of the unmixed cuts on offer. Our favourites include the rubbery bounce of HP Vince's appropriately titled "Funky Disco Party", Kelly's killer Marlena Shaw revision ("Raised In The Ghetto"), the bustling funky house pleasures of HP Vince and Dave Leatherman's "Back 2 The Old Skool (House Mix)") and the disco-rap goodness of Captain Futuro's "Club Warzone".

Review: The Situation crew are taking over the disco-balearic connection, coming through with constant quality, often drenched in a familiar poppy feel that we very much need at this moment of the year. "You Gotta Move" is a slow, funky little number with everything from liquid guitars melting lift, right and centre, to seductive vocals reminiscent of the 1980s. If that wasn't enough, they've recruited a rather fine set of remixers, with the legendary Ashley Beedle spear-heading the festivities with a broken beat monster in a fine boogie style.

Review: York might not be the disco capital of the world, but the way the gang at Alpaca Edits carry on it might just as well be! They've been trotting out world class soul, disco and funk edits for a good while now, and here they deliver the second instalment of their compilation in aid of testicular cancer support. There are 15 quality scalpel jobs this time around, with highlights including the rumbling, evening poolside boogie of "I Need A Drink" by Hotmood, the punchy electro-disco of "Head Lights' by Stephen Richards and the white-hot 70s disco rock of "I'm A Man" Pontchartrain.

Yes the YM? duo have rustled up a whopping 20 summer jams to soundtrack out summer and boy are we grateful! Highlights include the hot-to-the-touch neon boogie of Qwestlife's "Streetlife" rework, HIfi Sean's campy hiNRG remake of "Shari Vari" and the deep, late 80s Brit house vibes of "Cant Get Enough" by Alan Dixon. Party all summer long!

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: UK edit maestro Situation usually cloaks himself in a noticeable disco look, but this new EP for Situationism sees the artist adopt a more house-centric guise, backed by the effervescent vocals and charisma of Andre Espeut. The duo's "Not So Crazy" is a quirky, disco-friendly house chugger with a sublimely tropical percussion and tied together by zesty boogie basslines. There's a whole artillery of remixers to boot: Peza rolls thorugh with a bit of electro house, Mr Mulatto drops a heartical Miracle dub, Audio Luxury offers a sweet, nostalgic garage sound, and Masterman ties it all off with some wavy, progressive hits of the drums. Top stuff!

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: Gloucestershire collective Situation continues to impress with their soul-soaked singles, which invariably join the dots between nu-disco, electrofunk and deep house. That's certainly the case on "Put The Rhythm In Your Life", where slick soul singer Andre Esput adds his honeyed tones to a midtempo electro-soul shuffler. Andre Espeut is in a bolder mood on "Kiss The Sky", wrapping his impassioned vocals around Prince style purple funk guitars, New Jersey organs and an unfussy house groove. Arguably best of all, though, is "Gonna Get Real Nice", whose combination of hushed vocals, dreamy deep house chord progressions and tumbling jazz guitar licks is reminiscent of fellow West Country outfit The Rurals.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: Stroud boys Situation are clearly enjoying a fruitful relationship with vocalist Andre Esput, delivering their second collaborative release in as many weeks. In its original form, "Times Going Down" is a warm and breezy chunk of soft focus soulful house smothered in rich instrumentation and subtle nods to early '80s jazz-funk and mid '90s New Jersey garage. It's accompanied by some stellar remixes. Chief amongst these is Joutro Mundo's fine freestyle remake, which sounds like a long lost NYC or Miami production from 1986 - all wobbly synth bass, electro drum hits and Latin Rascals style edits. Hypnotic Lovers' remake is a bouncy chunk of electrofunk/deep house fusion, while the Black Bridge Dub looks to legendary New Jersey club Zanzibar for inspiration.

Review: Since launching as a Tirk sub-label in 2009, Nang Records has gone on to outlive its parent label and become one of the most reliable imprints in nu-disco. The label's progress has traditionally been charted by compilation series The Array, with new volumes appearing every 12 months or so. This latest installment is naturally packed with highlights, from the sparkling disco-soul of Hot Toddy's remix of Situation's Andre Esput hook-up, "Get To Know Me", and the contemporary Italo-disco throb of James Rod's "Steelerr", to the quirky Balearic bliss of Cardmoth, the synth-heavy wooziness of Deepkey, and the trippy, acid-flecked thrills of Aimes' "A View of Istanbul".

That philosophy is fully explored here on Retro Future Disco, bringing all kinds of disco approaches to the table. Highlights include the schmokin' 70s jazz-funk of "Hot Head Disco" by Psychemagik, the legendary Il Flagranti's rare re-edit of new wave classic "Walking In The Rain" by Flash & The Pan and the dreamy, star-crossed synth-pop of "In Your Eyes" by Yam Who?

Review: Paper Disco's Trash The Wax compilation series certainly offers a lot of bang for your buck. This fourth installment continues the trend, serving up 22 tried-and-tested dancefloor jams for disco-loving DJs. As usual, the selected tracks are a mixture of killer edits (Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee, Solid State, Electric Pendergrass, DJ Rocca & Chris Massey), sparkling remixes (a tasty '80s electrofunk rework of Reggie Got Beats' "It's On Tonight" by Norwegian eccentric Ralph Myerz), and stellar original productions (see 2 Billion Beats' "Bob", Daco's Gladys Knight-sampling throb-job "I Heard It", Picotropico's decidedly Balearic "Time Will Tell"). There's possibly a little more Italo-disco on this edition, but that's no bad thing - especially as the arpeggio-heavy cuts showcased here are universally excellent.

Review: ChopShop Digital barely deviates from its' well-worn formula, which involves serving up multi-artist EPs full of tried-and-tested reworks. Happily, they're at it again here. BnC kicks things off with the break-driven funk shuffle of "Good Times Roll", before Woodhead & Hebegebe raise the temperature with the heavy funk-goes-Italo-disco surge of "Pony Up". West Country scalpel fiends Situation serve up the dusty soul sweetness of "Change For A Coke", while Senior Citizens attempt to outdo them with the similarly luscious and soulful "The Perfect Plan". Finally, label boss George Kelly steals the show with a killer re-cut of Willie Bobo/Ronnie Laws favourite "Always There".
